Tidelands Debt Fight Faces House Action in Louisiana
In Baton Rouge the Louisiana House blocked a late bid to introduce a resolution dedicating tidelands funds to reduce bonded indebtedness. Rep. Parry Branton proposed $21 million for initial tidelands settlement, while critics argued the constitution already directs such funds to debt retirement. The session adjourned sine die as debates continued on wage rules, driver education measures, and medical expense financing for volunteers. Astronauts White and McDivitt landed safely, drawing applause from the House.

McNamara Presses Pay Rise Plan Before Congress
Secretary Robert McNamara urged immediate approval of a 446.586 million pay raise for military personnel, arguing it is fair to service members and taxpayers. He defended a proposed 4.8 percent overall rise for longer service, with smaller increases for newer enlistees, noting housing and food allowances and tax advantages. He contrasted administration aims with Rivers’s committee proposal, which would lift salaries by about 10.97 percent and total roughly 892.47 million annually.
